See, I want to knit this (look at model no 5 with the short sleeves) with Debbie Bliss Stella colour no 10.
Now, the Debbie Bliss Stella is comprised of 60% silk, 20% cotton and 20% rayon. All of these materials on their own are known to grow (silk grows when worn, so does some cotton and rayon, in my readings and experience) . However, I haven't really come across a complaint about this yarn growing while knit.
As such, I'm unsure if I should do size medium 36" bust, and just do size small (34" bust) instead, since I've a feeling that this yarn might GROW. Right now, I'm doing the sleeves first, and have sent out missives to those on ravelry who've used this yarn.
I do have my suspicions with the fact that Debbie Bliss tends to use a LOT of patterns with cables. Yes, ideally yarn needs to be elastic for cables, but Bliss also uses cables as some sort of structure with her yarn designs.
Help! I'm drowning, not waving.

I have used it, for the dollar and a half cardigan. I don't think it grew much. I love that yarn actually, it's very different but I really like it.
You might want a bit of negative ease anyway, although with a cardigan that could lead to gaping buttons. I do like your color choice, bold but still elegant.
